The total distance traveled by him is 60 ft
In this question, apply the Pythagorean relationship
Let's assume, the climbing, sliding and walking back to the base form a right-angle triangle
The tower height = the height of the triangle, h=10f
The sliding lane= the hypotenuse of the triangle=?
The distance covered to the base= base of the triangle=24f
Applying the relation ;
a²+b²=c²
10²+24²=c²
100+576=c²
676=c²
[tex]\sqrt{626}[/tex]=c
26=c
Distance traveled in all=26+24+10=60 feet
